A subject avoided at its core but it's interrelated more and more In forum of passion our words of love and though that word is not there too often left in air simply implied hidden with passion Yet after bonding is such passion maintained the love we've assumed a remaining thing If love-making slows To less frequent stings As some analyst's say is maintenance enough is there love to carry when goings gets rough I choose to see it rooted in need don't want to live alone I know that indeed I need love's hugs and love's kisses too I need the plugs that fill the holes to survive the misses coming through When we're preoccupied with lesser friends or co-workers who've fried or messed up their lives we merged with a passion It's always in fashion But if one feels it more And one feels it less Is there need enough To sustain the bliss I've read of love one's need, so great can that focus be carried can the two then be married the great need survive with another who's need is much weaker, indeed Some don't or the word is not in their creed they won't call it 'need' "too demanding" they'll plead Relationship is a word they will use I've lived long enough can see the word It can sustain me like the wings of a bird most of the time when there's air to fly on But I get back to cuddle when life is a muddle and cuddle's enough when the going gets tough So that's my need source of my greed A love that will last When great passion is past The first duty of love is to listen. |

My passions have lost their sting I think this not a critical thing of a love's labor spent though years they are bent saying I have aged to a time when all things mellow are mine. "I am not now that which I have been." |

This is truly a wonderful statement of how passion can take you places...and not necessarily good places...but without passion...without passion life would be pretty boring |

Passion....whether quietly sitting beside a loved one, exchanging glances, or the other kind that belongs behind closed doors....either one is needed.... both are desired.... and we should never turn one away for the other.... well done, Mr. Yeats |

Thank you most sincerely for your kind and thoughtful replies - I ask that you resd my response to 'Caressing' - and view this and subsequent posts of mine (especially from '98-99) in light of changes on my physical condition - In no way did I intend to suggest that "Passion" cannot nor should not be nourished and maintained - Our bodies - and our minds are most definitely interconnected- We cannot feel or express things physically - that our minds have subjugated because of physical conditions beyond our control Conversely - "Love" being the magic thing that it is - We cannot deny our need for love - even when how it is manifested is lessened by events totally unexpected Those of you who've read these two replies - and the poems - I clearly hope I've piqued your interest and pray - you reflect - (and write) how your perceptions may have shaped your attitudes Once more - Thank you |

Bill--Love is a feeling we have for many things and in many different ways...I think in its specialness it survives many things; ill health, seperation...and so many other influances that can change things...I feel that love survives. |
